John Deasy: That is very helpful. With regard to the agenda for next week, can we flag with the Department that this will be raised as it has been raised at this committee in the past few weeks?

John Deasy: Is that fair enough? I do not know what is on the agenda in terms of Mr. Watt from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform coming in but this is an important issue that has been raised here and we could give him due notice of it.

John Deasy: That is perfect. I thank the Chairman for that.

John Deasy: I agree with the Deputy. I do not want to sound like a broken record but it has a relevancy when it comes to the levying of commercial rates as well. Whether it is the spending of the property tax or the levying of commercial rates, it is an issue that needs scrutiny. It is unchecked in some local authorities as far as I can see.

National Training Fund (4 Jul 2013) John Deasy: I would like to pick up on the point Mr. Ó Foghlú just made about engagement on the ground. He said a couple of times that this area is reviewed constantly and that the Department has learned a great deal since the initial approaches. I suppose I am trying to get a picture of what is happening with regard to TalkTalk. Can Mr. Ó Foghlú give the committee an idea of what...

National Training Fund (4 Jul 2013) John Deasy: According to figures I have seen, the level of participation in the measures is 62% in the case of TalkTalk, 55% in the case of Dell, 57% in the case of Waterford Crystal and 50% in the case of SR Technics. There is an increase in the case of TalkTalk, but it is not massive. Can Mr. Ó Foghlú explain the factors that apply to the 38% of TalkTalk workers who do not get involved in,...

National Training Fund (4 Jul 2013) John Deasy: I do not have a calculator, but on the basis of the figure Mr. Ó Foghlú has just given, the participation rate among TalkTalk workers has reached 70%. I presume he considers that to be a very high percentage.

National Training Fund (4 Jul 2013) John Deasy: It seems the Department has tracked down and accounted for the majority of those who were affected by redundancy in this case. That is fair enough. Does the Department have any idea of what the projected underspend will be when the course finishes in February 2014? That might be a difficult question. I would like Mr. Ó Foghlú to compare the figure in the case of TalkTalk with...

National Training Fund (4 Jul 2013) John Deasy: I would like to ask Dr. Fields about the design of the courses, which was mentioned earlier. The case of TalkTalk is relevant to where I am from. The bigger picture relates to the national agencies that deal with these cases. How much interaction and connectivity do Dr. Fields and his colleagues have with IDA Ireland and Enterprise Ireland when they are designing courses? When the two...

An example of a big issue would be an advance factory not being available or the language deficit in the south east to which I referred. Does such information reach Dr. Fields and is it filtered down at that point?
